“BitcoinShop.US is an online mall that takes payments exclusively in (you guessed it) bitcoins. Michal Handerhan, the co-founder and CEO, says his company acts as a reseller for manufacturers, handling purchases from customers around the US and overseas (one customer placed orders for delivery to a US Air Force post in the Pacific). While the number of orders BitcoinShop has handled is only in the hundreds, those transactions are usually large and include multiple items of high value. Customers have purchased everything from ukuleles to a 578-pound gun safe.”
